The "Real" Side of Living BRIGHT with Molly Moran

⭐ Make sure you click follow for the LIVE BRIGHT Show wherever you watch your podcasts! ⭐

In this candid and personal episode, I open up about my journey of balancing leadership responsibilities with life's challenges. I share an important leadership lesson about setting clear expectations for team members. While facing some personal stuff, I caught myself falling back into old patterns of overwork and perfectionism. I discuss how I chose self-care and connection with my spouse over pushing myself to maintain a rigid schedule and output.

This raw and honest episode reinforces that "living bright" isn't about toxic positivity, but rather about holding space for both joy and challenges while staying true to our values and personal growth. I'm hoping that it's a refreshing reminder that leadership and personal development are ongoing journeys that require constant learning and self-awareness.
